Itís been a decade of non-stop development in Israel - from north to south - because of our goal to make excellence in education the rule, not the exception. We tackled middle schools in 2001 with the Mitchell Excellence 2000 program, expanded to elementary schools with Skirball Excellence 2000, and quickly added Excellence 2000 for high schools.

Our exciting and positive results demonstrate that we can change education delivery in the 21st century across the board by opening the doors to academic success for bright students today.
